Abstract
This is a practical guide to writing and editing short-form, broken comedy, using a selection of creative formulae designed to get practitioners writing quickly and effectively. As new technologies drive the increasing demand for fast-turnaround, high impact material, this book assists new and experienced writers in generating new scripts and ideas in an oft-pressured environment. Based on the author's own experience of creating original material for tv and radio commercials, cross-platform TV promotions and live cabaret and theatre shows, the handbook will kickstart and enhance the production of creative output.
